About Me

I am a graduate of Boston University's School of Public Communitcation (although NOW they call it the College of Communications). As we used to say "You can't spell B-S without B-U" So it doesn't thrill me either way, a degree is a degree, eh.I'm a fan of 1970's & 80's Sci Fi and the current reincarnation of Battle Star Gallactica. The original series was campy, thank god this time they got it right. I hate movie and TV series that are "re-made" but ruin or distort what used to be an excellent show.What annoys me is the recent extension of the original "Star Trek" Movie deadline. Now I am not REALLY complaining but I hope to God they don't screw it up. This will either be the rebirth of Satr Trek or the last shovel full of dirt on the grave they have already created with bad tv show sequels.I attend King Richards Ren Faire each fall because it gives me an opportunity to enjoy the simpler days when Men were men, Knights were wild and Women were Warrior Princesses.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Folks with similar interests in Science Fiction, Medevil Renaissance Faires, Movies, and Collectibles. Articulate folks who can argue Politics but don't take it so seriously that a fist fight breaks out. It's my Irish Blood, I love a good Political Disucssion!I guess folks who are interested in Electronic Freedom of Speech would also be nice to chat with since that is the field I work in, Public Educational and Government Access Television.People who enjoy life and are involved are the ones I enjoy meeting and speaking with. It's ok to watch TV but getting out and exploring your surroundings (ie Hiking, long Drives, etc) make it all worth while!
